with the automatic release fertilizers that can be easily installed and pulled if fertilization gets our of hand I would go that route if I had a choice. That said I do not need to as my trout pond that flows into my warmwater ponds seems to keep seechi dish reading at about 2 feet all summer. I guess I lucked out as I did not plan that ahead. Could have went with a smaller receiving pond and had problems. Apparently my warmwater pond is just right.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
